I was sitting in the movie theater today, minding my own business, (and Captain Kirks!), when all of the sudden three words came to me. “Change Your Destiny”. I was so surprised that I dug down into my purse ( the black hole), looking for my notebook so i might write them down.
Along with the words came a sudden rush of hope and direction for my future. Instead of watching the Star Trek movie, I began thinking of things I could turn around in my life that would mean a different future, even 3 months from now.
How many times in our lives do we stay the course because it is easy or familiar? What would happen if we chose three things in each day, and purposed in our hearts to do them differently? Perhaps that would mean venturing out to see a neighbor you hadn’t seen in a while? Or put down that cheese sandwich and opt for a salad? Why not carve out an hour of the day to work on your novel or write a letter to a relative? Maybe it’s time you tackle your To Do List?
I will think out loud here and list some different areas of interest to me.
God
Family
Friends
Job
Exercise
Diet
Home front
Hobbies
Inspiration
Gardening
Under each heading could be multiple topics.
Imagine if you took a new course of action for each heading, each day. How might that change your life by this time next year? Just think! You could come to the end of the year, a new person! Or perhaps you might become the person you were meant to be! What area might you work on this week?
Heaven! The final frontier! But what will you do before that??? I LOVE the thought of CHA CHA CHANGE!!!
Are you with me?

Excellent, excellent…did I say EXCELLENT!!! Les, I LOVE the title of this one! I’m still learning to ‘LIVE ON MY TIPPY TOES!’ I also do some blogging, but like your reader above, when I decide to do my writing, I have so many thoughts running through my head that I can’t seem to untangle them. I’m gonna keep plugging at though! Keep em comin’ Les!

First of all I would like to say excellent blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your head before writing. I have had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Kudos!

Why thank you. I enjoy writing too. If it’s a subject I really love, it comes out easy. It nearly pours out on to the page. If I am writing a story book, I find that going for a walk helps me to get my thoughts together. Then, when I get home, I write quickly and edit later. I wrote two children’s books that way. The other two books were written in the mountains when I was alone. I like quiet so I can concentrate. Noises distract me, except for the hum of the washer and dryer! ha! That is only the way it works for me. Some folks like music playing. Blog posts I can write anywhere. It’s like talking to friends. But working on stories is a little more complicated. Coffee shop writing is also fun, but best if you don’t know anyone in the coffee shop to distract you. Hope that helps! Happy writing!!!
